Genome Maintenance and Cancer Seminar Series
offered this fall and spring semester
This seminar series explores current topics ranging from the basic biology of DNA replication and repair to our current understanding of how defects in these pathways drive cancer initiation, progression and response to chemotherapy and immunotherapy. The GMaC Seminar Series builds upon the pressing need to bring together clinicians and basic scientists working at the interface between DNA replication and repair to achieve a greater understanding of how these mechanisms impact cancer initiation and anti-tumor therapy.
When: Select Friday’s at 11:00 AM
Where: Zoom Webinar. You will receive an email five days before each seminar, asking you to register. After registering, you will receive an email with the Webinar details and log on information.
Who can attend: This lecture series is designed for clinicians, basic science researchers, students, residents, fellows, post-doctoral scholars, and anyone else who wishes to learn more about these topics from experts in the DNA repair, replication, and cancer fields.
